Toshiba Satellite C655 isn’t a laptop you’re going to want to show off at the office or coffee shop, but for only $399, it offers basic functionality and surprisingly decent laptop battery life. No matter how good your Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop Battery is, it’s still easy to run out of power by day’s end. Today AussieBatt laptop battery experts share some ways to keep your Toshiba satellite laptop running, and please remember following 3 simple tips the next time you travel.
Drop the Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop screen brightness
You can afford to keep screen brightness cranked up when your laptop is plugged into an outlet, but not when you’re flying coach. Drop the brightness setting a few notches, then get back to work. Chances are you’ll hardly notice the difference. Then drop it a few more notches. The lower, the better.
Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Few airplanes offer Wi-Fi (yet), so turn off your Toshiba satellite laptop’s power-sucking Wi-Fi radio. Same goes for Bluetooth.
Watch downloads, not DVDs
15-inch Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop is great for watching movies, the one bright spot in the Satellite C655’s performance is its battery life. In our video-playback Toshiba PA3817U-1BAS Battery drain test, it ran for 4 hours and 23 minutes, but DVD drives consume a considerable amount of battery power. Therefore, leave the DVDs behind and choose digital downloads instead. Stock your hard drive with movies from Amazon or iTunes and you’ll be able to watch longer. Don’t want to pay for movies you already own? Use a tool like Handbrake to rip your DVDs, creating MPEG-4 files you can store on your hard drive (or put on your iPod, thus saving your laptop even more power).
